A fintech company processing client data files through AWS Lambda needed reliable, automated file ingestion to meet enterprise SLA commitments across Europe and North America.
A fintech company helping global enterprises detect and prevent payment errors through AI-powered spend analytics needed a bulletproof automated file ingestion system. Their platform processes uploaded client data files through AWS Lambda functions to deliver real-time financial insights—making file transfer reliability mission-critical to their entire service.
Operating across Europe (~120 users) and North America (~40 users), they required infrastructure that could meet enterprise SLA commitments while seamlessly integrating SFTP uploads with cloud-native AWS processing workflows. Thorn Technologies implemented SFTP Gateway to create a fully automated pipeline from client uploads to Lambda-triggered analytics, enabling the company to document uptime guarantees and scale its automated processing across multiple regions without manual intervention.
Four architectural gaps were blocking enterprise growth.
Each region ran on a single EC2 instance with no failover capability, putting SLAs at risk.
Enterprise clients demanded formal uptime guarantees and high availability architecture they could review.
Files were stored locally before syncing to S3, creating data loss risk and processing delays.
The aging architecture couldn’t support horizontal scaling with load balancers and auto scaling groups.
A cloud native rebuild that preserved every existing workflow while removing the single points of failure.
A resilient, documented architecture the team can now stand behind in enterprise deals.
Processing delays from local disk
Regional redundancy, HA per region
Of Lambda automation preserved
